Sunday Song & Scripture {31 Days :: Day 19}

October 2014 has been full of 31 Days: Every Story Matters in this space. We’re almost three weeks in, but once again we come to Sunday and I’m inviting you to take a deep breath. Sit and listen – sit and rest – before the week really begins. Pause and reflect on this song and Scripture.

Sunday Song

“By Our Love” by Christy Nockels

Brothers, let us come together
Walking in the spirit, there’s much to be done
We will come reaching out from our comforts
And they will know us by our love

Sisters, we were made for kindness
We can pierce the darkness as He shines through us
We will come reaching with a song of healing
And they will know us by our love

The time is now, come church arise
Love with His hands, see with His eyes
Bind it around you, let it never leave you
And they will know us by our love

Children, you are hope for justice
Stand firm in the truth now, set your hearts above
You will be reaching long after we’re gone
And they will know you by your love

The time is now, come church arise
Love with His hands, see with His eyes
Bind it around you, let it never leave you
And they will know us by our love

Sunday Scripture

They won the victory over him because of the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony.
They didn’t love their life so much
that they refused to give it up.
Revelation 12:11, GOD’S WORD Translation

They defeated himthrough the blood of the Lamb and the bold word of their witness.
They weren’t in love with themselves;
they were willing to die for Christ.
Revelation 12:11, The Message
